Syracuse fire damages garage

¦A fire in a vacant lot that spread to a garage behind a West Calthrop Street house had fire investigators talking to neighborhood children Saturday night.
The fire, which was discovered about 7 p.m., started in some furniture and plastic toys behind the garage. The siding of the garage at 264 W. Calthrop St. then caught fire, District Chief Charlie Duffy said.
The flames were 20 feet high when firefighters arrived, Duffy said, but were quickly doused. Neighbors told firefighters that they had seen children in the area before the fire. No one was injured, Duffy said.
